Default Being a Car Person - some don't get it!

Has anyone here had that conversation with family, friends, neighbours or random people after a car has been damaged and that old saying 'at least no one was hurt' as if to totally disqualify your interest in your car/s as not important? I get it people and safety first but is not ok to be upset about losing your pride and joy?

Default Re: Being a Car Person - some don't get it!

Hell yes....my wife....only interest in a car is it starts.....and gets her to where she needs to go...when I brought home our brand new G6ET it took her 2 days and a wheel spin making a left hand turn with oncoming traffic to comment that "this new one seems faster then our old wagon", which was a BA Futura ....and if anyone remembers the interior, it has Turbo on the dash gauges, door sills and exterior side and rear badging and she still didn't pick it up...

and I still miss it...

“At least no one was hurt”, the best comeback I heard was, “tell that to my f’n wallet, it’s still in intensive care…”
